The Trifecta- The Final Countdown Edition

Greetings, race fans. Here we are at the end of another exciting Trifecta season, and the chase for the coveted Triple Lug Nut Trophy comes down to four players- Tez, Hanny. CR. and Kristen. The championship scenarios look like this:

1.) If Tez wins, the Trophy is his.

2.) If Hanny wins, the Trophy is his by virtue of the perfect score tiebreaker.

3.) If CR wins, the Trophy is his by virtue of the perfect score tiebreaker.

4.) If Kristen wins AND gets a perfect score, the trophy is hers. If she wins and does not get a perfect score, then we will count 1st place picks (2nd and 3rd place picks, of necessary). If a tie remains after all of that, duplicate trophies will be awarded.

Speedy, Godley must have grown since I've seen it. I remember going into town with my Grandaddy to fill up milk cans with drinking water for the farm house. My mother grew up around the Brazos country. If I could, I'd move to that part of the world!

Through turns one and two they're six wide! The open wheelers are scared spitless! LOL

What this? tez has outfitted his rig with Ben Hur wheels!

CR's got his spiked ice racing tires on!

Watch out for that Southern boy from Hanahan South Carolina! He'll give you a punt you'll never forget!

Then there's that sneaky Californian! When you least expect it she'll find that other gear and BOOM! she's way out front!

They've entered the backstretch with the cherished golden Lug Nut on the line! How long can they run side by side? How can CR, Hanny and Klvalus avoid tez's chromed spinning knives? (Some people will do anything to win...)

Trifecta leader tez and all three challengers remain in position to win as they enter turn four and sprint to the finish line! Can tez hold on with Carl in the Sprint Cup race? Will there be a second Kyle Trifecta this year handing the championship to CR? Will Hanny ride Denny Hamlin to a perfect score and the Trifecta championship? Will Klvalus throw a wrench in the works with Jimmie Johnson winning and force a recount to determine the victor?

Three wide into the turn with the mystery lady close just behind, the home stretch laid out in front of them, suddenly smoke is pouring out from the cars. They're running so close together it's hard to tell who's in trouble... The thousands of fans in the stands rise to their feet... A nationwide television audience sitting on the edge of their chairs holding the breath awaits the outcome...

Yea jon, that would be typical. Are you saying I should go back to Harvick? Tez would throw a hissy fit if I did that! LOL... Just kidding tez! Nope, Kyle's job is to finish ahead of Johnson and Harvick. If they're ahead of Hamlin, that's his problem!

I hardly ever know who everybody picked for each race. I pick early most of the time, and don't really notice who picks who, afterward. If someone need's to change a driver, I think it would be kind of strange to penalize them more for picking a driver someone already has. But, a standard substitution penalty is fine with me.

Well, Tez wasn't content just to sit back and play it safe. He decided to go at the final Trifecta of the season full throttle. That effort paid off, earning him a perfect score(our 3rd of the season), and giving him outright possession of the inaugural coveted Triple Lug Nut Trophy.

Congrats to Tez and everyone who played this year(everyone got at least one win).
